Announced a Scoop 6 place dividend correction on atr...
|
|
By:
just got this
Thank you for your email. I have spoken to our department who deals with the Pool and Dividends and they have confirmed that the Placepot for Chester was £6,671.60. |

I saw the breakdown and in leg 3 there was 120'000 on number 5 and 80'000 on number 1, I'm guessing there appears 1.5 million more than usual in the pool.
Somebody somewhere has lost a lot of money, I wonder if there's something mentioned in the racing post tomorrow, I doubt it. |
|
By:
Who would place such a bet?
Makes no sense at all. It is like putting £10k in the win pool. You are just buying some of your own money back. Will be watching the pools tomorrow.  |
|
By:
I agree, so will I! :)
|
|
By:
if he puts 1.5 mill in the pool he loses either way because they'll take out about 400k before they pay a dividend
|
|
By:
This story will be big news in the next few days, will Baldy publicise the dividend and pool size

I agree Huggy, there aren't even a million in the Ascot and Cheltenham pools, something somewhere has gone awry.
|
|
By:
think I would have collected today before the mistake is found if I was lucky enough to have won
|
|
By:
the tote will be very happy, whoever put that million and a half in pool did nothing wrong
|

remarkable stuff, most mystifing thing i have heard in many a long time
|

what happened then guys, did you get paid ?
|

By:
SURELY - the RACING POST have to investigate this.
Quotes - from Fred - of ... "It is correct," - are insufficient. I know that they are not obliged to name names - But some clues such as ... 'A far-eastern syndicate' - or 'large-staking Australian client' - MUST be forthcoming [b]in explanation. They must know who .... After all - Nobody has walked in a Shop and plonked £1 and a half MILLION - in 'Readies' on the counter. |
|
By:
someone got a lot of credit with fred
|
|
By:
there has to be an explanation onlooker because anyone staking 1.5m on a placepot surely has the brains to realise they will lose even if they had a 1.5m straight line
 because the 28% baldy takes out will make sure of it. |
|
By:
I'm betting this will turn out to be an error in transmission by one of the agents (like Betfair) that take bets on behalf of the Tote for a commission, and that the one and a half million only exists in hyperspace.
So it's either a software bug that has multiplied the real stake when sending the bet, or they've been hacked by someone that doesn't like Baldy. Of course that would mean a rather large list of suspects ..... |

TA
You are probably right in what has happened. Either that or it is an on course operator error (obviously not at Chester!). For example someone could have filled out a multiple entry (say 10,000 lines) and asked for a total stake of £150. The operator has keyed it as a unit stake of £150 and issued a ticket worth £1.5 million!!!! You would expect there to be checks in place in either instance, but once the "rouge" money is in the pot and the first race is off, there is probably nothing they can do to the rolling figures throughout the afternoon. |

By:
Red money sounds nicer Reg but yes you are right
 |
|
By:
you would have thought that even a YTS would notice a pool that size cant be right and why declare a dividend. it would seem when asked they keep saying the calculations are correct and that everything is okay
|
|
By:
It would be nice if someone came on saying they had collected.
|
|
By:
i agree, even someone with 10p worth just to see.
|
|
By:
I have correct slip placed ladbrokes shop have said its 100 percent correct and will pay tmrw due to ammount customer services confirmed it asswell.will post tmrw to confirm fair play to baldy for honouring it imo
|

By:
Has there been any comment on RUK or ATR as yet?
Nothing in the RP today. |
|
By:
Took the day off yesterday to go to the golf and missed this wtf?
Who and why does anyone put 1.4 million on a placepot. I hope you get paid but I cant help but think something stinks and fred will come up with some excuse. Needs to be transparency on this. |
|
By:
Was Fred playing a game in the same way he could be manipulating the win pools in running - so lets just says he has visibility of all placepot permutation he then covers the permutations that will pay much much more than the true odds - i.e those permutations that have been "missed"
It doesnt matter that he may need £1m to cover this as he gets the takeout back anyway. There is no transparency whatsover as to where the money comes from - and in the case of win betting crucially when the money goes down. Obviously the placepot pool is declared up front but it would be interesting to note when the pool jumped to £1.5m |

Just looked at the results, I generally only do one placepot a day, and went for Newmarket.
I don't study form, and I put it on as near as I can to the first race, after the morning markets have settled. For the first 4 races: I have the 1st, 3rd and 4th best on the BF screen in races of more than 7 runners I have the 1st, 2nd and 3rd best on the BF screen in races of 7 runners or less. And the favourite on the BF screen on its own in races 5 and 6. 81 line perm, and it would have given 4 winning lines. Sums up my luck that does.  |

By:
latest update is i've been paid out a quarter of my bet and got a check for the rest, looks like happy days
 |
|
By:
good luck to you
|
|
By:
ladiies wont pay me till tmrw but say that is due to ammount only and are saying 100 percent i will be paid.
|
|
By:
Well done, what an unexpected payday!
 |
|
By:
Incredible, would love to know the reason behind the big pool ?
|
|
By:
still not relxed though, thinking they might cancel the check
|
|
By:
They cant mate payout declared tote confirmed it people need to know pools are correct so even if a mistake they have to honour it otherwise bet is dead .pr disaster if they didnt pay out plus legally if they didnt pay theres an argument to answer so
|
|
By:
well done to all winners
who would walk into a shop and put that much on a pot or even have that much in a betting account online  Hope it wasnt my missus  |
